Bail Given Boost
Following Boast
Pendleton (UPI) Bail on
two Washington state convicts
captured 13 miles west of here
Sunday night was raised from
S5000 to $25,000 each by Dist
trict Judge Paul A. Thal
hofer Tuesday after one of the
men boasted he could raise
the lesser amount.
Held on charges of being
"fugitives from justice" were
James Frazier, 26, and Ray C.
Carlson, 36, who refused to
waive extradition back to
Walla Walla.
Bail originally was set at
$5000 each. But Frazier, who
was doing a life term for first
degree murder, told Deputy
Sheriff Max Livingston at the
Umatilla county jail he was
"certain" he could raise the
bail. Judge Thalhofer upped
the bond when the pair ap
peared before him Tuesday
afternoon.
Officials said extradition
procedings probably will take
about 30 days.
Carlson was serving 20
years on a burglary charge at
Walla Walla.
Paris in Springtime . . .
Continues Romantic Mood
Paris (UPI) Paris in the
spring ... a rain-washed
night and the moon bright be
neath a silver ceiling of
clouds.
Lovers arms in arm along
the left bank of the Seine, ob
livious of everything but
themselves.
The standing room only
signs out for the red-nosed
clowns and the lush and leg
gy chorus girls in the Folies
Bergere and the Lido.
But so few cross the broad
Pont de la Concorde over the
Seine to the National Assem
bly. "Apathy?" smiles the po
lice officer with the radio
chattering in his command
car. "Ah, no. The Parisian's
very well behaved. Why
should he come here when he
can read about it in his news
paper, eh?"
This doesn't explain why
the well-behaved Parisian re
quires so many police around
his legislature.
But the lovers are kissing
now, still oblivious. The civil
ians watch. The police watch.
The journalist watches.
It hardly seems possible
that behind the scaffolded
columns a few yards away
the future of the nation is be
ing decided in a duel between
Premier Pierre Pflimlin and
General Charles De Gaulle.

Montreal (UPI) Lion
el Shapiro, 50, one of Can
ada's leading novelists and a
former newspaperman,- died
Tuesday night after a long
illness.

A war correspondent in
Europe during World War
II, he once wrote a broadway
column for the Montreal Ga
zette. He also worked for the
North American Newspaper
Alliance, MacLean's Maga
zine and the Columbia Broad
casting system.
' By A. ROBERT. SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington One of those
public relations fellows from
New York called the - other
day to invite me to have lunch
with a movie star. He said
it would be a nice change
from looking at politicians.
He got no argument on
that score, even from one who
finds politicians very inter
esting types. Besides a polite
cal reporter sometimes gets
to feeling he isn't covering the
whole Washington scene when
he passes up receptions or
publicity stunts involving
such well known " visitors as
Sophia Loren, Gina Lolla
brigida and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
So, all rationalization aside,
the invitation was snapped
up.
The star, it turned out,
needed a shave. But then
Walter Brennan always was
his lovable best in an un
shaven characterization of
Hollywood's version of a
ranchhand.
But though he was born in
Boston, Brennan lays claim
to being a real rancher by
virtue of having a 12,000
acre spread 29 miles out of
Joseph in eastern Oregon. He
also has a 320-acre farm near
Joseph on which he raises
hay and alfalfa for his herd
of 500 to 700 herefords. His
son Mike runs the operation,
but the Brennan's visit there
several times a year.
Walter was 19. town because,
as a family man, he attended
the baptism of a new grand
child. His daughter lives in
nearby Falls Church, Va.
Brennan is feeling no pain
over the success of his plunge
into television as "Grandpa
Amos McCoy" in a western
called "The Real McCoys".
He was enroute to Wesfc Vir
ginia to get that state's first
Mountaineer award
Plan Big Reception
That's where this business
of the Hatfields and the Mc
Coys and their hillbilly feud
in' got started. Not at all dis
pleased with Brennan's por
trayal of the McCoys, the citi
zens are planning a big re
ception, governor and all,
I asked Granpa McCoy
whether he got all stirred up
at the thought that Oregon
might elect a Hatfield as gov
ernor. He didn'tl As a matter
of fact, -he hadn't heard about
Mark.
The New York public re
lations fellow was quick to
add, however, that in his, re
search of the development of
the Hatfield and McCoy
tribes, he found that the Hat
fields seemed to have gone
much farther. ,
While benefiting from the
phenomenon, Brennan does
n't attempt to explain the cur
rent craze over westerns in
the movie and TV industry
He also scratches" his head
over the young guitar-strum-mers
who are now command
ing fantastic salaries. The
reason they get top billing in
the movies is that they draw
the teen-agers he explains,
and teen-agers make up such
a high percentage of the mov
iegoers these days.
Brennan, although a three
time Academy award winner,
never got top billing until
last fall when, at age 63, en
tered TV. He recalls that
when he was trying to get
started in Hollywood in the
1920s, "I fell off every horse
in Hollywood and the hors
es always got higher billing
than I did."
Being a TV character has
its affects. While visiting his
daughter's family, one grand
child started to ask him to
read her a story but checked
herself and said: "Oh, I for
got, you can't, read." As
Grampa McCoy, he plays an
illiterate.
For anyone with a stereo
type notion of the married
life of Hollywood stars, Mrs
Brennan would be a refresh
ing experience. Like her more
famous husband, she lacks
pretense and artificiality, is
genuine and interesting
"When we were having
hard times," recalls Walter,
we had chickens. My wife
sold the eggs the chickens
laid. After we became suc-
